With a "central" suburban location that's near "all points of interest in Philadelphia", this former Holiday Inn with an "attractive front entrance", a 24-hour fitness facility, a pool with retractable roof and a generally "accommodating" staff loses points for "very poor Internet" connections and "paper-thin walls" that allow you to "hear conversations, TV" and "arguments" from the adjoining room; those who found rooms "a bit worn", will appreciate the refurbisment completed post-Survey.

Beds are great, feather pillows and fluffy towels.
They invited to me to Sunday brunch but failed to mention that it was for $13.00. They failed to record my 2 day stay and keys had to be reinstated.
Good location, excellent accomodations and friendly staff.
